Some really good bits, but a little repetitive. Every club in the country thinks they are the best fans etc etc. Difference is, a large % of our lot are obsessed about going on about it.

I agree that our fans can go on about attendances and skew figures.

But it was a fans film based on capturing togetherness and fan experiences so that element was going to come through. Plus I enjoyed seeing our fans in Europe, that story from League Cup and the bit about young lads killed was poignant. There are plenty of interviews with ex players etc on You Tube.

Find it a little bit cringeworthy. Too many interviews with fans talking about big crowds, noise etc. Gets boring after a while. We are a big club, let’s move on.

Would have been far better if they’d interviewed players, managers etc.

So glad someone else said something else other than being overwhelming positive. I reckon you could switch the name Wednesday on the DVD with most english football clubs.

Yes we turn out in great numbers and were generally not one of the nasty clubs that wallow in our aggression but it sounds like an advertisement.

The interviews are heartbreaking but they would still be heartbreaking if they weren't Wednesday fans. Other than that the only story was the trip to Exeter in the snow. Yea and we'll be doing it again next week.

Yes Wednesday are incredibly special to us but so is every club to every fan.

I was also a bit dissapointed that it ended with promotion back to the Championship and didn't even mention the footballing rollercoaster headed by CC and DC that happened afterwards. The most amazing times I've had at Hillsbrough in many a year.

It definatly does remind me of how much I love away games and some of the footage is hilarous. But i've seen it many times on other youtube vids.

We laughed when it said we walked out of Derby in 2000 in silence. I was shamefully ranting at Derby fans and the Wednesday fans were fighting amoungst themselves as we were herded onto buses.

I see no point in being critical I congratulated Matt and meant it was it perfect from my point of view probably not, was it Matts view and that of his commentators yes

but I love all things SWFC as most of us on here do One person I would like to sponsor for a definitive SWFC film would be @dunsbyowl whose searches into history are wonderful and perhaps something I would have liked to see more of along with interviews with any legends living and any from the past that already are out there to be collated

I definitely do understand those who say every club think they’re the best club with the best fans and I agree that sometimes we go over the top with it.

I think it brings home more than anything the whole range of emotions you go through as a supporter. You can go through really bad times and still find something to laugh about and remember fondly.

I have 5 kids and have taken them all as youngsters, though only one remained a regular with me till circumstances dictated we could no longer go. We had some great days both home and away and I treasure those now.

I think the film embraces the whole family thing. Most of us start with our Dads and then make friends with random people you sit or stand next to on matchdays.

You form a bond with people and I think that’s what it shows you and that can’t be bad , can it ?

I wasn't sold on the fluctuating chronology to be honest. Just as the film settled into one timeline, it would suddenly jolt the viewer into a completely different decade. I appreciate it was deliberate, but it felt a little dislocating and jarring to me.

Well done to Matt though, he captured some thoroughly lovely moments. I'm surprised it went straight from DVD to YouTube. Think the club could have made it available as a download first to help raise a bit more cash for the charity.

well it would'nt be owlstalk if someone didn't agree now would it......so for the sake of balance, i'm happy to inform you that you are talking absolute crap and if you wern't moved in anyway by watching that then its time to start watching cricket instead pal.
